As The Carpetbagger Report notes, the anti-Wage Cut bill in the House is picking up steam. It’s got 15 more cosponsors, for a total of 186. As it was yesterday, every one is a Democrat.

I’ve also heard that the LoBiondo letter is going to come out tomorrow. That’s the letter circulating among moderate House Republicans (basically the standard northeasterners, as near as I can figure) calling on the president to undo the Wage Cut.

Apparently, though, they’re refusing to sign on to H.R. 3763 because it’s too tied to the Dems.
